[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm....I do know lots of good teachers who don't put in those hours, and yes they are good teachers......[/quote]

Ummm. . . by whose standards?

Unless you're in the system, you can't judge.  [b]Have you seen a formal observation?  Have you observed opening procedures?  Have you analyzed discourse?  Are questioning strategies a strength you have?  Can you recognize routines?  pacing?  transitions?  the use of manipulatives (yes, even at the secondary level)?  critical thinking skills?  closure?  [/b]
There are MANY aspects of which you are unaware.

So don't think you can understand GOOD teaching practices unless you're in the know.  Anyone can claim s/he is good.  And in most cases, if kids are complaining, parents think everything's just dandy.  not so . . . [/quote]

And what part of those skills require you to work overtime?  You can have formal observation, analyzed discourse, critical thinking skills, etc. and get your job done within 8 hours.  That argument has nothing to do with the pp claim that she knows teachers that are good that don't work the long brutal hours you claim you do.  [/quote]
